Coconut Cream Pie with Mango Salsa Crumble

Ingredients:

For the crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

For the filling:

  • 1 can (14 oz) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut
  • Whipped cream for serving

For the mango salsa crumble:

  • 2 ripe mangos, diced
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut
  • Salt to taste

Instructions:

Make the crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and unsweetened shredded coconut.
  3. Add cold butter and use a pastry blender or your fingers to work it into the dry ingredients until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Press mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden.

Make the filling:

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine coconut milk, sugar, egg yolks, and vanilla extract.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 10-12 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in shredded coconut.
  4. Pour filling into baked pie crust and smooth top.

Make the mango salsa crumble:

  1. In a small bowl, mix together diced mangos, brown sugar, and melted butter.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine rolled oats, chopped pecans, shredded coconut, and salt.
  3. Sprinkle oat mixture evenly over top of filling in pie crust.
  4. Spoon mango mixture on top of oat mixture.

Bake the pie:

  1. Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes or until crumble is golden brown.
  2. Allow to cool before serving with whipped cream.

Notes:

  • This recipe makes one 9-inch pie.
  • The mango salsa crumble adds a sweet and tangy contrast to the rich coconut filling.
  • You can adjust amount of mango to your liking.
  • If you prefer a more golden crust, bake for an additional 5-10 minutes.
